Lucia Wooding
Woodcula
Wooding concerns herself with the heaviness of neurodivergence- the weight in which being biologically alternative affects her identity. Through her multidisciplinary practice she interrogates the turmoil of her neurodivergent existence, exploring feelings of otherness through a concoction of playful and macabre imagery. Seeking solitude within dread.
She began her practise interested in the omnipotence of neurodivergence through angelic creatures, and how their presence and ambiguity within Christian iconography can be used to personify the omnipresence of the psyche. Using this, she created The Seraph- the primary representative of her neurodivergence. This entity was formed using porcelain doll arms found whilst volunteering in her home town of Birmingham, U.K. During a particular period of battling with her identity, Wooding felt their discovery was divine intervention- and by creating The Seraph she explore dolls as simultaneously being a grounding, liberating and destructive force.
